2 And it came about that from the day of the Ark’s dwelling in Kirʹi·ath-jeʹa·rim the days kept multiplying, so that they amounted to twenty years, and all the house of Israel went lamenting after* Jehovah.+

2 And I have to make things tight+ for Arʹi·el, and there must come to be mourning and lamentation,+ and she must become to me as the altar hearth of God.*+

4 In that day one will raise up concerning YOU people a proverbial saying+ and will certainly lament a lamentation, even a lamentation.+ One will have to say: “We have positively been despoiled!+ The very portion of my people he alters.+ How he removes [it] from me! To the unfaithful one he apportions out our own fields.”
